Purity Ring: the 10 funniest things I have ever seen (on the internet)
I ended up skipping some of the internet's best years – they're long gone, along with the dream of what the internet could have been. In all the hours I spend doomscrolling I can say I haven't gained much but the following makes some of that time feel worth it.
There's something about a good joke or a meme – similar to a song maybe, where it sticks in our minds for years and we can draw from it for a certain feeling, to self-regulate or laugh out loud when we need to. Or maybe it's like our sense of smell or taste in the way we can recall it vividly no matter how much time has passed. I feel that way about many of the videos I'll include here.
Here are a few from the present, a couple from the past and an overall appreciation for the people who succeed in making the internet feel like less of a wasteland. I hope you can find some joy here today.

Matt Fitzpatrick defies his wife at The Open as he sets the record straight
Matt Fitzpatrick has emerged as a leading contender at The Open Championship but has refused to take his wife's advice so far during the tournament at Royal Portrush Matt Fitzpatrick has refused to use the golf balls that his wife marked for him ahead of The Open. The 30-year-old found himself second on the leaderboard on nine-under-par, one shot behind leader Scottie Scheffler, at the halfway point of the tournament. The English golfer is targeting his second major title after winning the US Open in 2022. Fitzpatrick carded four under on Thursday before improving with a five under on day two, putting him in firm contention for The Open title. While his focus will be on overtaking Scheffler, the attention during his post-round press conference was diverted to a video Fitzpatrick's wife Katherine had posted on social media. When asked by reporters, he quickly denied that he had used balls marked up by his wife for the major. In a TikTok clip, Fitzpatrick's wife showed herself writing personalised messages on golf balls for her husband. He shut down the suggestion that his partner regularly marked balls for him. 'She does not mark my golf balls,' Fitzpatrick replied. 'She does not, no, and I would not let her, no.' When asked if he had used the balls shown in his wife's video during The Open, Fitzpatrick replied: 'I have not, no.' Katherine had filmed herself opening a pack of balls ahead of The Open and scribbling messages for her other half. 'I always mark my husband's golf ball up for every tournament he plays. It's just like a special way for me to get involved,' she said, seemingly tongue-in-cheek as she gave a look off camera and smirked. Displaying the golf balls to camera, her messages included 'MF is cute' and 'I love you'. She added: 'Most of the time I do hearts and stars. Sometimes, if it's more of a serious tournament, I'll do fish.' However, Fitzpatrick's father Russell interrupted his daughter-in-law's story. 'What are you on about,' he quipped as he questioned Katherine's claims. 'No, I know you don't do that because I get all the second-hand balls and none of them look like that,' he laughed. 'All the golfers also know he don't mark them like that.' An undeterred Katherine continued: 'Well, anyway, I'm still going to give you a pack of special golf balls, Matt. You don't have to use them, but they're packed and sealed with love.' Matt and Katherine Fitzpatrick were first known to be dating in January 2023. The couple tied the knot in October 2024. Following another impressive round at Royal Portrush on Friday, Fitzpatrick suggested there was less pressure on him than Scheffler . The American is world No.1 and chasing his fourth major victory, having triumphed at the PGA Championship earlier this year. 'He's going to have the expectation to go out and dominate. I wouldn't say I necessarily feel as much pressure,' Fitzpatrick said. 'He's an exceptional player. He's world number one and we're seeing Tiger-like stuff. 'I think the pressure is for him to win the golf tournament. For me, I hope I'm going to have some more home support than him, but it's an exciting position for me to be in given where I was earlier this year.'

Plus, the specific time you're most likely to bag the best bargains at TK Maxx SPOTTED! Fashion fans race to TK Maxx to get their hands on bargain Crocs at half price – they come in a snazzy leopard print too Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT'S official: leopard print is not just the print of the season, it's a timeless classic. Many fashion experts are even hailing it as a "modern classic" and a particularly strong trend for 2025. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 TK Maxx are selling a super stylish must-have item Credit: Alamy And now, the ultra-comfortable footwear brand, Crocs, is jumping on the bandwagon, much to the delight of fashion fans. Renowned for their unbeatable comfort, Crocs are a firm favourite for anyone who spends long hours on their feet. And there's a new Crocs craze sweeping through the fashion-savvy corners of TikTok, all thanks to a recent discovery at TK Maxx. Footwear fanatics are currently racing to grab a highly coveted pair of stylishly printed Crocs that are not only on sale but boast a fabulous leopard print design. The buzz ignited when TikTok user @ellieesimss shared her incredible find, showcasing the must-have footwear that has since sent shoppers into a frenzy. Retailing at a cool £29.99, these aren't just any Crocs - they offer that iconic comfort with a seriously chic twist. Ellie's video, shared on June 21st, quickly racked up 71.6k views and 22 comments, with many fashion fans rushing to share their thoughts. One commenter hilariously admitted, "Definitely not a croc wearer, absolutely definitely not! (runs to get some.)" Another savvy shopper even suggested, "Morrisons have some for £7 too." The excitement wasn't confined to TikTok, as someone else took to the Facebook group 'Dansway Gifts and Bargains UK' to share their success, exclaiming: "Ladies Leopard Print Platform Crocs spotted in TK Maxx." As a hairdresser I was so embarrassed about my broken locks from bleaching & blowdrying - a TK Maxx buy was the answer And another person chimed in, "I got these last summer from JD, they're so nice." But be warned, fashion fans need to act fast if they want to get their hands on a pair of these sought-after Crocs. If you're looking to add a touch of wild style to your wardrobe without breaking the bank, you'll want to join the race to your nearest TK Maxx. Best time to shop TK Maxx is undeniably one of the nation's favourite discount stores, a treasure trove for savvy shoppers. But have you ever wondered if there's a trick to finding the absolute best deals? 2 Shoppers are racing to get their hands on the item which is a bargain Credit: tiktok/@ellieesimss Well, a former employee has spilled the beans on TikTok, revealing the optimal time to hit the high-street giant for cut-price gear. Having spent five years working at TK Maxx, the ex-employee, known as Patience on the platform, claims there are "secrets" the huge retailer would rather customers didn't know. According to Patience, cash-savvy shoppers should make a morning visit, right as the doors open for the day. She notes in her video that most stores receive their new deliveries just before opening to the public. "I am pretty sure at my TK Maxx they got deliveries at 6am every single morning and there would be people from 6am sorting it out and putting it away on the shelves," she revealed. In some cases, shops will get double deliveries, with brand new items hitting the store in the late afternoon around 3pm. ''Technically, the best times to shop are at 8am to 10am and 4pm to close,'' she revealed in the clip, advising ''to never go at lunch time''.
